Not that I"m going to be a serious prospective customer( I'm now committed to Nikon's AF-D range S/H) but the quality from Sigma is coming at a high size weight price without VR, if Tamron could keep their lenses a little more compact with VR this would throw a further spanner into the works! Perfection is approaching now we need compactness back on the map again, I've been looking at size/weight/price and there's still a lot to be said for buying AF-D lens S/H!
